So when I'm voting, I am trying to vote off the least most horrible outcome, not just for

my own sake, but for the sake of the most vulnerable people in our society, to give people

a chance.

I mean, that's basically the difference.

You know, I think that the Democrats have been a disaster.

Like I'm very un-infusiastic about them right now.

I do think, though, that they have on occasion, they respond to pressure.

They often respond by bitching us out, but sometimes they respond by doing the right thing.

And there are more people, you know, within the Democratic Party, including elected officials

who genuinely do want to do the right thing and who are working hard.

And they're stymied by terrible leadership.

And so my advice is, you know, vote in the national elections, vote in the state elections,

vote in your local elections, and vote in your primaries, and try to get the best person

in there.

You know, you see all these really awful dark money groups trying to chase out progressive

Democrats, trying to basically put in Republicans, you know, with the Democratic veneer into those

positions.

And it's because they're afraid of this growing progressive movement.

And we need to stand up to that.

We need to have a system where our votes matter, our rights matter, our beliefs matter.

And we have true representation.

And checking out of things altogether is not going to bring that about.
